The anti-tampering measures require banning rooting/jailbreaking, banning the installation of non-Google/Apple approved operating systems (ex: GrapheneOS), and require that you install Google Play Services/IOS equivalent.

The app also requires that you first send your personal information to a closed source backend, in exchange for easily trackable tokens used as "proof".

Do you have a link where I could read more about this? GrapheneOS is known for being the alternative Android where many bank apps in the EU still work, and this is the first I have heard that the age verification app definitely wouldn’t run on GrapheneOS.
